A simple yet stunning dessert, this Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie features a chocolate crust, two layers of strawberries with a deluge of rich chocolate ganache to finish it off.

For Filling
Prepare the Pastry:
Make the Filling and Assemble:
An Oreo pie crust is an easy alternative to the chocolate pie pastry.
I often use frozen strawberries to make the filling, just to save on prep and cost (and frozen berries are usually pretty good quality), and then use the best fresh strawberries I can find to place on top.
Let the strawberries drain and dry on a clean kitchen towel before using. Ideally, the uncut side of the strawberry should be dry so that the chocolate can adhere to it.
If your chocolate ganache has cooled too much during the assembly process before you get a chance to drizzle it, briefly heat it back up over low heat while constantly stirring. It shouldn’t be very hot, but it should be easy to drizzle onto the strawberries.
If you wanted to skip the step of making the strawberry reduction, you can replace it with 1 cup of a high-quality strawberry preserve.
There may be some chocolate ganache remaining after garnishing the top of the tart. You can store it for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
